I finished work tonight and popped into have my face zapped again. 15 minutes on the bed and all that nasty hair was gone again. I was thinking back to the last time I shaved. It was just before my Birthday last October. It sure feels great after all that laser and electrolysis to be near the end of it.
When I got home I quickly had tea and then chatted with my counsellor. The main topic was about my worries about coming out at work and discussing the best way to do it.
I always enjoy talking to her as she is very experienced in issues related to Transsexual people. In fact she also offers transition support to companies and that is something I will mention to my employer.
I have the letter written now and will be talking to our MD tomorrow to arrange a meeting next week to let him know what is going on. If this goes well then hopefully we can agree a suitable time frame to enable us to manage this change into my role at work.
I am ready to do this but am worried as most of you know.
In other news I managed to finish the first of my 2 assignments for this module of the counselling course. This first one was to summarise my reflective learning journal and experiences of the course, as well as personal growth and objectives for my future.
This leaves me with one left to do in the next 2 weeks. I do love the course but I will be glad when these are finished.
I am also on a diet and have limited my portion size as well as watching the types of foods I eat. Snacks and chocolates have gone out of the window (except for a lovely Thornton’s coffee chocolate bar that I treat myself to 1 piece to every few days!)
I want to drop a dress size if possible. I also think it will be easier for me to lose it now than it will be when I start hormones. Mind you I do want enough fat to make my bum a bit bigger as well as my breasts!
Please help my friend Rebecca

Hi Lisa
I'm jealous that you have been doing electrolysis for so long. I am still trying to figure out how to pay for mine. Too much other stuff to do.
Weight control is quite difficult, but Kay and I are following the Weight Watchers Plan and it seem to be working for us. Once I quit taking tamoxifen it might be easier to lose a few extra pounds.
Best of luck with getting people at your work on board with your transition.
Peace,
Sarah
Hey Lisa,
Good luck on the weight loss, I found that stopping snacking helped me tremendously!
And, as said before, good luck with your boss.

hi Lisa
good luck with your meeting
you are right re diet now before hormones.
what does help as your body fat changes is to do areobics etc something aimed to target womens body areas like boobs and hips etc
also low fat diet and your body will convert this to good body tissue and also exercises for posture as womens posture is a lot tdifferent to a male one,
